[blindkid] Braille music

[Pui]

That's a cool picture, love it! I'm assuming an iPad would also work but it would only show a few measures. My son has a degenerative eye disorder so it's important that he learns braille music. My sighted nine year old practices until he memorizes the pieces and so I expect the same from my youngest. I would expect the braille notes/large print notes would be used until it was memorized.

He does have partial vision but it is not always accurate and so I wanted him to start off learning music in Braille as well. He has been learning Braille for a year now so Braille is not new to him. I also know Braille and his sighted brother has been playing piano for 4 years so we can work as a family to encourage him.
